Description

Modular multi-level submodule, valve tower and alternating current withstand voltage test method
Technical Field
The disclosure belongs to the technical field of high-power electronic converter, and particularly relates to a modular multilevel submodule, a valve tower and an alternating current withstand voltage test method.
Background
Equipotential connections originate from the grounding mode of the three-phase ac power distribution system. When the building is in electric design, the impedance among the metal parts is reduced as much as possible in an equipotential connection mode, and the potential difference among the metal parts is eliminated, so that the personal safety and the safety of electric equipment are ensured. For example, in a three-phase four-wire system alternating current distribution system, all exposed conductive parts and external conductive parts are connected with a neutral line in a 'TN-C' grounding mode, so that the purpose of equipotential connection is achieved, and personal safety and equipment safety are guaranteed. Meanwhile, the equipotential connection is realized by connecting the metal conductors together to form a closed or semi-closed electromagnetic shielding protection space, so that a circuit in the space can be prevented from being interfered by external electromagnetic radiation.
In the technical field of power electronics, a modular multilevel converter is formed by cascading a large number of sub-modules and bears hundreds of kilovolts. The sub-modules work in an equipotential mode of floating ground, a large number of metal parts exist inside the sub-modules, the metal parts need to be connected in an equipotential mode, otherwise, potential difference exists among the metal parts, and the sub-modules cannot work normally due to the fact that insulation problems exist in the operation process. In an actual sub-module, the characteristics and functions of each metal component are different, for example, some components are used as a supporting structure for supporting, connecting and fixing other components in the sub-module; some are used for heat dissipation of power semiconductor devices; some are used as electromagnetic shields. Because mutual contact and interaction exist among parts of metal components inevitably, all the metal components cannot be completely decoupled, and a parasitic path exists. Therefore, a reasonable equipotential connection mode needs to be designed according to the interaction relation of metal parts in the modular multilevel sub-module. The submodules are connected in series to form a valve tower, and the problem of equipotential connection is also solved.

The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in conjunction with the appended drawings, it being understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are merely for purposes of illustrating and explaining the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a modular multilevel sub-module 100, which implements an equipotential connection. A modularized multi-level sub-module 100 comprises a direct current capacitor 1, a power semiconductor unit 2, an energy-taking power supply 3, a main control circuit 5 and a supporting metal structural part 6.
The direct current capacitor 1 comprises a direct current capacitor anode and a direct current capacitor cathode and is connected with the power semiconductor unit 2 in parallel. The power semiconductor unit 2 includes a power semiconductor device, a heat sink 4, and an ac output port 8. The energy taking power supply 3 takes energy from the direct current capacitor 1, and in the embodiment, the energy taking power supply 3 supplies power to the main control circuit 5. The main control circuit 5 samples the voltage of the dc capacitor 1. The energy-taking power supply 3 comprises a power supply metal shell 31, and the main control circuit 5 comprises a circuit metal shell 51.
The present disclosure uses a dc capacitor cathode as an isoelectric point E. One or more of the power supply metal casing 31, the circuit metal casing 51, the heat sink 4 and the support metal structure 6 form at least one equipotential bonding surface. There are various forms for forming the equipotential bonding surface, and all the equipotential bonding surfaces are electrically connected to the equipotential point E. The anti-interference capability of the modular multilevel sub-module 100 can be improved by equipotential connection of metal pieces in the modular multilevel sub-module 100.
The equipotential connection method of the modular multilevel sub-module 100 of this embodiment is as follows: the power metal shell 31, the circuit metal shell 51, the heat sink 4 and the supporting metal structure 6 are connected by mechanical fixing, contact, short-circuit lines or short-circuit copper bars L2 to form an equipotential connecting surface. The equipotential connecting surface is electrically connected to the equipotential point E through a conducting wire L1. Equipotential connection of metal pieces within the modular multilevel sub-module 100 is achieved. In this embodiment, a point on the heat sink 4 is connected to the isoelectric point E, which may be referred to as a "single-point connection".
As shown in fig. 2, the second modular multilevel sub-module 100 is equipotentially connected by: two or three equipotential bonding surfaces are formed. For example, the power metal shell 31 is connected with the circuit metal shell 51 to form an equipotential connection surface; the heat sink 4 and the supporting metal structure 6 form another equipotential bonding surface. The two equipotential connecting surfaces are electrically connected to an equipotential point E through a conducting wire, which may be referred to as "packet connection". Three equipotential connecting surfaces can also be arranged according to requirements.
As shown in fig. 3, the third modular multilevel sub-module 100 is equipotentially connected: the power supply metal casing 31, the circuit metal casing 51, the heat sink 4 and the support metal structure 6 form equipotential connection surfaces, respectively. Each equipotential connection surface is electrically connected with an equipotential point E through a conducting wire, which can be called as "independent connection".
As shown in fig. 4, according to an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, the isoelectric point E is led out and connected to a conductive bar 7. The conductive bar 7 is a metal conductive bar. Each equipotential bonding surface can be electrically connected to the conductive bar 7, or can be directly connected to the equipotential point E.
As shown in fig. 5, the parasitic connection points are caused by metal contact or mechanical connection. In this embodiment, parasitic connection points may exist between different equipotential connection surfaces. If the connection is made in groups, a contact resistance R70 exists between the circuit metal housing 51 and the supporting metal structure 6 due to the mechanical fixation. R31 and R51 are equivalent resistances of equipotential connection surfaces formed by the power metal shell 31 and the circuit metal shell 51, R4 and R6 are equivalent resistances of equipotential connection surfaces formed by the heat sink 4 and the supporting metal structure 6, and due to the existence of the contact resistance R70, a parasitic current loop exists between two equipotential connection surfaces which are connected in groups, so that an unpredictable potential difference is caused between the two equipotential connection surfaces.
As shown in fig. 6 and 7, according to an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, the present embodiment eliminates the parasitic connection point by isolation. Modular multilevel sub-module 100 further comprises an insulating component 9. The insulating part 9 may be arranged between adjacent equipotential bonding surfaces, for example between the metallic casing 51 of the circuit and the supporting metallic structure 6. Alternatively, the insulating member 9 may be disposed on the equipotential bonding surface instead of a portion of the equipotential bonding surface, for example, the insulating member 9 may be disposed on the supporting metal structure 6 instead of a portion of the supporting metal structure 6.
Parasitic connection points are eliminated by the insulating component 9 in an isolation mode, mutual coupling among equipotential connection surfaces is eliminated, and potential distribution of the whole sub-module is more balanced. In this embodiment, after the insulating member 9 is used to isolate the parasitic connection point, the contact resistor R70 is disconnected, and the parasitic current is eliminated, so that the equipotential connection can obtain a better effect.
According to an optional technical scheme of the present disclosure, when the power source metal casing 51 forms an equipotential connection surface alone, among connection points of the plurality of equipotential connection surfaces and the equipotential point E, the connection point of the equipotential connection surface formed by the power source metal casing 51 is closest to the negative electrode of the dc capacitor. The arrangement can avoid the interference of external electromagnetism to the main control circuit as much as possible.
According to an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, the power metal housing 31 and the circuit metal housing 51 are combined into a single metal housing for ease of manufacturing. The energy-extracting power supply 3 and other elements of the main control circuit 5 are arranged in a whole metal shell.
According to an optional technical scheme of the present disclosure, the energy taking power supply 3 comprises a positive electrode and a negative electrode. The negative electrode of the energy taking power supply 3 is connected with the equipotential point E or the equipotential connecting surface through a conductor; or,
the negative electrode of the energy-taking power supply 3 is connected with the power supply metal shell 31 through a conductor; or,
the positive pole or the negative pole of the energy-taking power supply 3 is connected with the power metal shell 31 through a capacitor, so that the anti-interference capability of the modular multilevel sub-module 100 is further improved.
According to an optional technical solution of the present disclosure, the main control circuit 5 may further include its own power supply, as needed. The main control circuit power supply comprises an anode and a cathode. The negative electrode of the main control circuit power supply is connected with the equipotential point or the equipotential connecting surface through a conductor; or,
the negative electrode of the main control circuit power supply is connected with the circuit metal shell through a conductor; or,
the positive pole or the negative pole of the main control circuit power supply is connected with the circuit metal shell through a capacitor, so that the anti-interference capability of the modular multilevel submodule 100 is further improved.

In this embodiment, 1 equipotential point is selected to connect to the planar metal structure 230, and 1 ac output port is selected to connect to another planar metal structure 230.
